(d) Blade Guide Adjustments (Ref: fig 5) NOTE: These adjustment are carried out at the factory. It is not therefore necessary to check or make readjustments before using for the first time. These adjustments MUST be carried out periodically or whenever replacing a saw blade or whenever blade tracking adjustment is carried out.
A dust extractor may be used during use. Simply connect a suitable hose (not supplied), from the dust extractor, to the dust extractor port (23, Fig.3). Dust Extractors are available from your Clarke dealer. • The saw is supplied with a mitre gauge to allow mitre cuts to be made.
IMPORTANT: Before plugging in to the mains supply, the blade guard MUST be adjusted so that a minimum amount of blade is visible when cutting takes place. This is achieved as follows: Offer the workpiece up to the blade, then lower the Upper Blade Guard by slackening the locking knob, (23, Fig.4) and tightening it again when the guard is as close to the workpiece as possible without interference.
Replacement blades are available from your local dealer or Clarke International Spare Parts Department. 1. Remove the table by first removing the table set screw then fully unscrewing the securing knobs.
